Apricot-Mango Jam
Ingredients
- 1 pound apricots
- 1 pound frozen mango (I buy mine at Trader Joe’s)
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- wash/dry and cut apricots in half removing the pit
- with the fine tip of your knife slice down the center of the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds
- add everything to your pot and bring to a simmer so the sugar dissolves (this just takes a few minutes)
- put a lid on the pot and let the mixture sit overnight so that the fruit becomes macerated
- remove the lid and bring back to a simmer over a medium heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot
- when you can run your finger down the back of a wooden spoon and the jam doesn’t ooze back together its done.
- remove the vanilla bean and pour into a sterilized jar ( I used a 17oz jar from Ikea)
Enjoy !
